An old, and not longer recommended, method was to pass the egg between the two halves of the shell, but as explained by many public health people that can cause the egg to pick up disease pathogens from the shell. For that reason many of todays chefs will tell you that allowing the egg to filter through your fingers works as well as any other method, providing your hands are clean.

Neat but I wouldn't be able to recycle the plastic bottle if I did it that way. Oh yeah, I forgot, the only bottled water I have is in the emergency supplies.
This is the way my DH does it. He uses a bowl and a spoon.

If we never get exposed to bad things our imune systems never build a resistance! Just think, those disease pathogens are likely destroyed in cooking/baking!

Ain't that the truth?!! I have very few occasions to separate the yolk from the egg, but I would like to try it. My DD was baking something recently and had to separate it. That's pretty cool, now if only I had a reason to do it..... I cud take up baking..... NOT!!!! And to think I survived to adult without car seats/booster seats! This message has been edited.
